There was one mentioned in Nicky Campbell's column in yesterday's Guardian, which doesn't seen to be on line yet as his latest on their site is dated 24/5, but anyway it's funny & slightly bittersweet. When Stan Mortensen (scorer of the only hat-trick in an FA Cup final) passed away it was reported in his local paper with the headline:

LIVING LEGEND DIES

""It's going to be difficult for me - I've never had to learn a language and now I do."

Interviewer : "Would it be fair to describe you as a volatile player?"
David Beckham: "Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side."

"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had."

You have to laugh at the second one

"I would not be bothered if we lost every game as long as we won the league."

Clearly playing for Celtic hasn't done much for his mental state...

''At the start of the season you're strong enough to win the Premiership and the European Cup, but you have to be as strong in March, when the fish are down.''

[qoute=Walter Smith]"He's captain of Rangers, and that's one of the reasons he's captain."[/quote]

"Matches don't come any bigger than FA Cup quarter-finals."

Rameez Raja at a Pak-SA match in PE

"The band is trying to add some colour to the South African team"

He was refering to a black band that was playing music in the stands.

Perhaps not politically correct.

And now he gets a knighthood, I can imagine how hilarious it would be when they interview this great Noble Personage Sir David Beckham in 10 years time.
